Chad: It's a shame that Faye no showed. I'm more than sure she would have made to this round.Chuck: Maybe.Chad: Wait! Didn't Head Hunter.....uh........ eliminate Faye backstage?Chuck: Actually, no. Faye escaped.Chad: Really?Chuck: Really. Check the security footage. *security footage plays on screen* Apparently when Head Hunter went to get Faye out of her cage for the talent round, she was gone.Chad: I guess five years of this was enough for........Chuck: Sorry to interrupt you Chad, but we have just been informed that Sousuke Sagara will be holding interviews with each of 5 remaining contestants.

When your entry answers a question there should be a picture to accompany it. Chad: Ok then, let's get started!

Chad: It seems to be pretty quiet here, ChuckChuck: Well, I'm pretty sure everyone is preparing for this moment since it's an important eventChad: I hope so, considering the deadline- oh, looks like someone is comingRyoko: Sorry it took so long, we were-8bit_samurai: Quite busyJakotsu: Busy enjoying the sun8bit_samurai: Well, some of us were, but others were busy preparingJakotsu: But not necessarily preparing for this event8bit_samurai: Anyways, Sousuke, here’s the questions and stuffSousuke: Thank you. Ryoko, are you ready?Haruhi: Ryoko-san, give it your all!Kyon: YoRyoko: Oh, my! What are you guys doing here?Haruhi: We got a call from this Eat Bits of Samurais asking us to come on up, and we couldn't refuse such an offer! Though we had to convince him not to eat us or anything!Koizumi: It's 8bit_samurai, and hello Asakura-sanMikuru: Is... Is, is-is Hunter around?Kyon: I don't think you have to worry about him this time aroundMikuru: Oh, hello Asakura-sanRyoko: Hello everybody! What an unexpected surprise!8bit_samurai: I figured it might help if ya saw some familiar faces. But it appears they are a bit too late. Perhaps they could get something to eat while we attend to this roundRip van Winkle: 8bits! Oh, 8bits! ♪Somebody has left this on ze ship♪8bit_samurai: Boy, you're in a good moodHaruhi: Huh, Mikuru-chan, isn't that yours?Mikuru: I-I believe soRip van Winkle: Oh. ♪Here you go♪ Oh, my. such a pretty little bag for such a pretty little girl Mikuru: Th-th-th-th-tha-th-th-tha-th-th-tha-th-th-tha-th-thank thank thank thankyou-ou you you oooRip van Winkle: Hehe. ♪You are welcome♪Koizumi: I believe we should be heading to the cafeteria about now while they get to businessHaruhi: Oh, okay.Mikuru: G-g-g-good luck Asakura-sanKoizumi: you have our best wishesHaruhi: Remember to do your best and answer each question to the fullest! And if you ever get stuck don't be afraid to ask the audience or phone a friend-Kyon: What are you talking about? This isn't a game show, this is an interview! There's no lifelines in interviews!Haruhi: Well, there should be lifelines in interviews since interviews are so boring. It would make them so much better.Yuki:...Haruhi: Huh?Ryoko: Hmm?Yuki:Good luckRyoko: Thank you! Thanks everybody! I will see you afterwards!Rip van Winkle: Very well. I shall head back to my station. ♪Mein Sohn die Herzen tou sollst nicht so verzweifelt♪Sousuke: Very well. shall we continue?Ryoko: Sorry for the delay. Please go on.Sousuke: Okay. First Question: In every other picture of you, you seem to have a combat knife or some other type of knife. What's with the obsession with knives?Ryoko: I don't think it's an obsession. It just a bit over exaggerated, really. I do have a little fascination with weapons, knives and blades particularly, but everyone makes it more than it really is.Sousuke: Then, why this little fascination?Ryoko: Well, they are extensions to the human body, nothing but mere tools. Blades are very fascinating tools, despite being simple and archaic. But unlike other human weapons, they are more utilitarian.Sousuke: Alright. Next Question: What would be the perfect date?Ryoko: Perfect date? Let's see. That is a good question. I don't think I would have the time for a relationship. But if I ever do find the time, perhaps a dinner and a movie, and aftwards a stroll down the beach to watch the sun set or even a walk in the park under the starry sky. And afterwards some dessert ^_^Sousuke: That sounds a bit ordinaryRyoko: Only if you make it ordinary. A perfect date doesn't have to be spectacular, If you are with the one you truly want to be with, then every date should be a perfect date ^_^Sousuke: Good point: Next question: What is your favorite song?Ryoko: I don't listen to music very often, so I can't say I have a favorite. However, there is this one song that was played on the radio that caught my attention. It was from an American Band called Garbage, and the song was called The World Is Not Enough.The lyrics are quite interesting. I don't know how to quite explain it, I don't really relate to the lyrics but they really do stand out to me. No other song has does that, but then again, I don't really listen to music very often.

Sousuke: Interesting. Next question: What do you do you do to relax?Ryoko: There are times I like to go to the park and watch the world go by. Sometimes the sound of the world and your surroundings can help take take things off your mind, and makes you wonder what makes the world go around.Oh, I'm sorry that didn't really make sense, did it?Sousuke: Oh no, it did. Made perfect sense. Okay, final question: what is your favorite movie quote?Ryoko: Movie quote? Hmm, I don't watch much movies either. But I'd have to say the one that comes to mind is Life is like a box of chocolates You never know what you're going to getSousuke: OhRyoko: What? It's not too cheesy, is it?Sousuke: It's not that. It's just wasn't what I was expecting. But that is a really good quote.Ryoko: you think so?Tsuruya: BWAHAHAHA! Thatsa pretty cliche quote, don't you think Ryoko-chan?Ryoko: Tsuruya-san, is that you? Tsuruya: It sure is! And I comes bringing melon pans! Care for one? ~nyoroRyoko: Thanks. Where's the rest of the crew?Tsuruya: Still eating. I thought you mighta want something after the interviews. ~nyoro. Care for one Strange man?Sousuke: Oh, no thanks.Tsuruya: Fine by me. Ryoko-chan, are you done? Wanna go to the cafeterias and catch up with the rest of the crew? ~nyoroRyoko: I believe we are done. Sousuke, do you mind?Sousuke: Oh, no. Go ahead. We are done here.Ryoko: Thank you very much, and good luck to the next contestant!Sousuke: Indeed. Chuck, Chad, back to you.Chuck: Thank you, Sousuke and Ryoko for that interesting interview, don't you think Chad?Chad: ZzzChuck: Hey, wake up!Chad: Huh? Oh, yeah. I'll have the specialChuck facepalms: Nevermind. Now, our next conterstant is

Chad: But I wanted to know and isn’t that the most important question!!!

Chuck: How is that the most….ah nevermind him…

*Chad gets dragged-off the stage*

Chuck: Now let’s start with the real questions.

Sousuke: Ok first question: What is your biggest wish for the future?

Fate: World peace!

Sousuke: Wow….that was a cliché answer…

Fate: Hey don’t make fun of it, I’m serious about this! I’m dreaming of a world where all people can live happily and peaceful together and where there is no suffering. And where no child has to experience the sorrow I had to when I was young…

Fate: Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally aware that It’s a pretty unrealistic and childish dream and that it probably never will come true, but still wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were able to live in such a ideal world?! And therefore I will do everything in my power to bring the current world closer to this Ideal!!!

Sousuke: Hey you can’t do that or I would be jobless!

Ruby-eye: Well fate and her companions defiantly have the necessary firepower to force the world to peace…

Sousuke: Well the next question: What is your actual relationship to Takamachi Nanoha?

Fate: I assume you allude to the remorse about us being lovers… * sigh * In that case I have to disappoint you. It is true that mere friendship is not enough to describe the relationship between us and I really do love Nanoha, but not the way you indicate it! I have known Nanoha since she nuked me out of the sky we were 9 years old and there is a special bond between us that nothing in the world can break. She will always and forever be my closest and best friend!!!*

*as much as I support NanohaxFate, I don't think that Fate would actually admit see her and Nanoha as lovers.

Sousuke: Well let’s ask Nanoha what she has to say about this question!

Nanoha: The relationship between me and Fate? Hmmm…Fate is…..my prince! She and I are connected by a bond made in heaven! You could say she is my soul mate!

Fate: Oh geeze Nanoha, it is because you say these things that people get the wrong impression!

Nanoha:

Sousuke: Ok third question: The last (and only) time you and Nonoha fought against each other was 10 year ago and resulted in Nanoha’s “victory”. Who do you think would win if you fought again in your current states?

Fate: First let me say that there will never again be a serious battle between me and Nanoha, of that I am certain! But to answer your “what if” question…that’s actually not so easy. I mean Nanoha is superior in terms of pure destructive power, actually I think that Hayate is possibly the only one whom could beat her when it comes to long range bombardment! But I’m superior in melee fight and speed, so I thing we are altogether quite evenly matched. Actually most of our mock battles end in a draw.

Sousuke: The next question is the same as to Asakura-san: What would be the perfect date?

Fate: Well like Asakura-san I don’t consider a perfect date to be necessarily spectacular. I would just like to fly through the endless sky with the one I love, maybe stroll down the beach and afterwards watch the sunset together.

Sousuke: It seem you and Asakura-san have quite a similar image of a perfect date…and you are sure that there is nothing going on between you and Nanoha?

Fate: Why do you ask that again?

Sousuke: Last question: What was the most embarrassing moment in your life?

Fate: That’s quite a mean question, don’t you think…

Fate: Well there was this one time where Vivio had to draw a picture for homework and drew one of me and Nanoha…I mean it was pretty cute but also embarrassing.

Fate: But the most embarrassing moment was when Vivio once found an H-Doujinshi of me and Nanoha somewhere and we had to somehow explain her that she is to young for such “books” without telling her why…

Um, so, the HD that had my pics folder on it just crashed, and I lost everything that was on it. . .including all my Mao pics. I've just kinda lost all motivation to do anything, including look for the pics again. So Mao is dropping.

Immorrel: *cautiously walking up to Louise* So you ready for the Q&A session, Louise?Louise: Of course, but why are you acting so strangely.Immorrel: *sighing with relief* For no reason at all, it would appear.Louise: What did you do?Immorrel: Absolutely nothing you should be worried about. I think I'll go check with the announcers and get this started. *walks away quickly before Louise can decide what to do*

*Out at the announcer's table*Sousuke: It is too bad that Ms. Wurpess and SGM Mao had to forfeit. I would think that the SGM would be prepared for anything.Chad: Well you know computers are temperamental things at the best of times, though you are right. It will be a shame not to see what interesting things we would learn about Mao.Chuck: *with a far off look in his eyes* Maybe we should go talk with Kurtz, he seemed to be the man with the 411 on the SGM.Sousuke: I would advise against that. Kurtz is a highly trained to stand the brutality that soldiers are sometimes required to face, and so can deal with the consequences of his exploration of the SGM's past. I don't think you gentlemen would survive the SGM if she found out you had been talking with Kurtz about her.Chad: *looking at Chuck* You think it'd be worth it?Chuck: *looking back* Discretion is the greater part of valor, I say we wait for when she isn't in the area and try our luck then.Chad: Sounds like a plan.Immorrel: *walking up at the end of the conversation* It's your funeral guys. I'm still not sure how Kurtz survives the things that the SGM does to him. But on that note, Sousuke could you go check on Wurpess?Sousuke: Why?Immorrel: I think Chad and Chuck can handle asking the questions for Louise, and I think Wurpess could use some cheering up.Sousuke: Affirmative. I leave the rest to you two.C&C: *Sousuke walks off in the direction of SGM Mao and Wurpess' room*Immorrel: *talking quietly to C&C* Ok guys, time for the Q&A. Think you can handle this?Chad: As long as you keep running interference the way you have, I think we can survive this Chuck: Especially if you've got some more stuff that we'll usually get you exploded.Immorrel: No worries, I'll see if I can't exceed your expectations. If you'd be so kind, let's get this started.Chad: I got it *turns to the microphone* Since Immorrel is here, it would appear that it's now Louise's turn to join us for the Q&A portion of our contest, so if you'd come on out Louise.Louise: *walking out for behind the curtain* I'm here.Chad: Well why don't we get to the first question then. What is your relationship with Saito Hiraga?Louise: *blushing furiously* Wha-Wha-What kind of question is this?Chuck: It's the question we asked, of course?Louise: *glaring at Chuck* Saito is my familiar and nothing else.Immorrel: Are you sure you are being completely honest Louise, because this doesn't look quite like that too me.

Louise: What do you mean. Familiars serve their masters, and that is what he is doing.Immorrel: If that's the case then what's going on here?

Louise: How is a servant supposed to serve his master if he is always getting distracted?Immorrel: You sure you aren't jealous?Louise: I am a noble, and am above such petty things as jealousy.Chad: *whispering to Chuck* You see how he slipped that first pic in without her even paying attention to what she was wearing?Chuck: *whispering as well* I guess spending the last two years with her, he's learned how to channel her attention where he wants it.Chad: A reasonable explanation, but I think it's time we move this along *speaking in a regular voice* I think Louise has answered the question properly so let's move on to the next one. Chuck?Chuck: Fair enough. So Louise, what is your relationship to Queen Henrietta?

Louise: *in a very calm voice* Where did this come from?Immorrel: *smiling to himself* Actually Henrietta gave me this one. She thought it might be useful. She was disappointed when you didn't win last year and wanted to help.Louise: *blushing* She did?Immorrel: Yep, and gave me a few others as well.

Louise: *blushing even more* She actually gave you all of these?Immorrel: Like I told you, she wanted to help you win.Chuck: Sorry to interrupt, but you still need to answer the question.Louise: Henrietta-sama is my queen first and foremost, but we also were childhood friends so the line in our relationship is blurred by this.Chad: Blurred? That looks like a lingerie par... *Chuck throws a hand over Chads mouth*Chuck: *whispering* Immorrel's got her distracted, don't bring the hammer down on us.Chad: *nods* I guess that answers the question then.

Immorrel: Before you ask, this one's from Saito, he seems to like it quite a bit.Louise: *goes from anger to surprise* Really?Immorrel: He didn't really give any details, but I get the impression that it's something special to him.Louise: *blushes and mumbles* Now why can't that dog tell me these things.Chuck: What was that, Louise?Louise: *starts* Oh, there's no real reason why I do it, it's just fun to do on occasion.Immorrel: * to Chuck* I think we better move on to the next question.Chad: Gotcha It's along the same lines as the previous question. Maids, why do you cosplay them?

Louise: Whe-whe-whe-Where...?Immorrel: Scarron. Apparently you have a lot of people trying to help you win.Louise: *sighs* That actually answers the question. Sometimes Henrietta-sama needs me to do things that an aristocrat would not be able to. So Scarron has helped me by providing me a place to accomplish this. The problem is that I'm required to be dressed as I am in these pictures he gave you.Chuck: That makes sense to me. I guess that just leaves the last question then, how do you compete with all of these well endowed women on a daily basis?

*Chuck explodes*Louise: *stalks off* I am an aristocrat and don't have to put up with this sort of harassment.Immorrel: *waits for Louise to leave* I'm pretty sure that wasn't the last question I put on that sheet.Chad: *checks the sheet* Yup, but apparently Chuck had other ideas, and has now experienced the answer in the most direct way possible.Immorrel: Kinda funny, but I think he's exploded more this year than I have.Chad: Well I have to admit that you just about had Louise handled this round. It was almost masterful how you kept her off balance until Chuck decided to take things into his own hands.Immorrel: Well, while the damage isn't permanent, it isn't pleasant. So I do try and minimize my exposure.Chuck: *crawling out of the crater* Well I guess that's it for Louise in the Q&A section of our contest.Chad: *shaking his head* It does indeed. I guess that just leave the lovely Mio Akiyama. That being said, where is our sponsor and the one he is sponsoring?

*elsewhere*Sousuke: Ms. Wurpess you really need to calm down.Wurpess: *holding the black Speedo* No, you are going to put this on and like it.Mao: If I'm out of this madness, I'm going to go get a drink.Sousuke: But SGM, I need your assistance here.Mao: You're on your own. If you can't handle one fangirl, you deserve whatever happens to you. *heads to the nearest bar*Wurpess:

Chuck: Up next Mio Akiyama!Ritsu: Oh, we are so staying for this one! I've got so many embarrassing stories..........Mio: Ritsuuuu!!!!!!Yui: This is going to be fun!*Ritsu hands index cards to Sousuke*Sousuke: Megaman, shall we get started?Megaman: Affirmative, but let's make this quick.Sousuke: Rumors have it the you caused a massive explosion sometime ago. What type of explosive did you use, and would like to give us a demonstration?Mio: Many people call it the "Hyper Moe-Moe-Kyun!". Ritsu: My little Mio is so moe that not even our own home town could handle it.Yui: She many things were blown up, but Micchan was so cute.Megaman: We'll save the demo for later. Sawako: Your not gonna...?Megaman: Maybe. Maybe not.Sousuke: We understand that you a few part time jobs. Care to comment on them?Mio: A few? I-I only have one part time job, as a m-m-maid at a maid cafe. *getting nervous*Mio: S-Sometimes they let me be hostess.Sousuke: It says here that you sell your own Mio Akiyama merchandise, seen here...Mio: ............

*minutes later Mio wakes up*Sousuke: Are you alright?Yui, Ritsu, & Mugi: Mio!Mio: Yeah, I'm fine.Sousuke: Let's continue. What is your relationship with your friend Ritsu?Mio: We're just best friends. We've known each other since we were little.Ritsu: We have experimented a bit.Mio: Ritsu, noooo....!!! *pictures appear on screen*Mugi: Sousuke: And, what are your hope for the future?Mio: For my friends and I to become the best all girl band ever.Yui: And, to remake this poster to include our newest member Azu-nyan!Sousuke: Finally, what will you do once you've hit it big?Mio: I simply intent to keep writing, singing, and playing with my friends.
